1. Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan
tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following
safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:
 Always perform diagnosis or service in a safe environment.
 Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
 Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from
all moving or hot engine parts.
 Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases
are poisonous.
 Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle
unattended while running tests.
 Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil,
distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These
components create hazardous voltages when the engine is
running.
 Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical
fires nearby.
 Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or
NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking
brake is engaged.
 Always turn the ignition off before connecting/disconnecting the
OBDII Cable to/from the TPMS tool; otherwise it may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on.
 Refer to the user’s manual for the vehicle being serviced and
adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Otherwise
personal injury or unneeded repairs may result.
 Keep the TPMS tool dry, clean, free from oil, water and grease.
Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the
TPMS tool when necessary.

2. General Information
2.1 TPMS system review
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system
designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on
various types of vehicles. TPMS report real-time tire-pressure
information to the driver of the vehicle, either via a gauge, a
pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS
can be divided into two different types — direct (dTPMS) and
indirect (iTPMS). TPMS are provided both at an OEM (factory)
level as well as an aftermarket solution.
2.2 TPMS Legislation
In the United States, the United States Department of Transportation
(NHTSA) released the FMVSS No. 138, which requires an
installation of a Tire Pressure Monitoring System to all new
passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses
that have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 4,536 kg
(10,000 lbs.) or less, except those vehicles with dual wheels on an
axle, as of 2007. In the European Union, starting November 1, 2012,
all new models of passenger cars must be equipped with a TPMS,
with even tighter specifications that will be defined by the UNECE
Vehicle Regulations (Regulation No. 64). From November 1, 2014,
all new passenger cars sold in the European Union must be equipped
with TPMS. On July 13, 2010, the South Korean Ministry of Land,
Transport and Maritime Affairs announced a pending partial-revision
to the Korea Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (KMVSS), specifying
that "TPMS shall be installed to passenger vehicles and vehicles of
GVW 3.5 tons or less, ... [effective] on January 1, 2013 for new
models and on June 30, 2014 for existing models". Japan is expected
to adopt European Union legislation approximately one year after
European Union implementation. Further countries to make TPMS
mandatory include Russia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Israel,
Malaysia and Turkey.

2.3 TPMS Tell-tale Light
When diagnosing TPMS systems, you should understand what the
TPMS tell-tale light means.
When turning the ignition OFF to ON, the TPMS tell-tale should
come on, and then go off, which indicates the system is working fine.
If the light stays on, there would be a pressure problem. If the light
flashes, there would be a system problem, which can range from
faulty sensors to sensors on the vehicle that haven’t been learned to
that vehicle.
2.4 Benefits of TPMS
The significant advantages of TPMS are summarized as follows:
 Fuel saving.
 Extended tire life.
 Decreased downtime and maintenance.
 Improved safety.
 Environmental efficiency.
